Ep 4: Pain to Purpose thru Fentanyl Awareness

Mike is inspiring! When I think about Empowered Survivors, Mike is a shining example. His healing journey led him to his life’s purpose, where he works every day to save people—young people—from fentanyl poisoning through awareness. He intentionally seeks out men and fathers with his message, which is essential because, as I say often, trauma and abuse know no demographic boundaries. Highlights of this episode include 💛The importance of trauma-related prevention through awareness, whether fentanyl poisoning, child se*ual abuse, or any other preventable trauma; this is how sharing our stories brings purpose to our pain 💙25Preston7 is a series of tributes to Mike’s late son, Preston, filmed in national parks and intended to create awareness about the grave reality of fentanyl poisoning 💛Mike’s HEALing journey and finding purpose out of pain 💙Mike’s work with Texas Against Fentanyl, including healing through the organization as a support group, engaging in law reform and advocacy and creating public awareness through speaking in schools and to parents 💛Fentanyl poisoning has nothing to do with substance abuse or addiction; first-time users are dying, and sometimes “users” don’t know that fentanyl is in whatever they are taking 💙Demand for drugs--legal and illegal--and mental health are issues that need to be addressed in fighting fentanyl poisoning Resources related to this episode ✨Mike Land on the www: 25Preston7 ✨Texas Against Fentanyl: TXAF: Texas Against Fentanyl – Fake Pills take Real Lives ✨Connect with Mike on FB: Facebook ✨Connect with Mike on IG: 25preston7 | Instagram ✨Connect with Mike on LI: Michael Land | LinkedIn Connect with the HEALing Mentor on social media @bethjoneshealingmentor on FB, IG, LI & TT Keywords #HEALingMentor #empoweredsurvivors #youtoocanheal #hopeevolveandlove #trauma #abuse #survivor #survivorship #heal #healing #healingjourney #fentanylawareness #fentanyl #fentanylcrisis #fentanylpoisoning #25preston7 #txaf #paintopurpose
